Meet the Preppers: Braxton Southwick

"I'm prepping for a smallpox outbreak."

Braxton is the ultimate prepping father. His suburban family is like a modern day Brady
Bunch and they are all prepping for biological warfare. He’s got six kids and a
loving wife, making his family the perfect prepping team. They have stockpiled
years of supplies to wait out doomsday. They’re running an intense biological
warfare drill, including military drills and surprise checkpoints to test their
mettle.

Braxton Southwick’s best prep may be his enthusiasm for every project he
undertakes. He fits right in with his six teenaged kids, and will be the first to jump on a dirt bike and race you
through the uncharted desert outside their Utah home.

Though Braxton looks on the bright side of life, being the biggest kid in his large
brood, he sees a darkness lurking on the horizon. He knows there are forces in the world that
wish America harm and he believes war with Iran will lead to a bio-terrorist
attack on American soil. Braxton has
spent years prepping his family for a smallpox outbreak in the United
States. Each of his six children has a
bug-out bag packed with personal protective equipment, sanitation preps and a
map charting multiple routes to the family’s secure bug out location.

When Doomsday Preppers visited the
Southwicks, we challenged them to put their bug-out plans to the test. Some were more excited to spend the day in
PPE gear and driving out of dodge than others, but the family of eight rallied
and showed us that the family that preps together thrives together
